During Marquesas, the winning tribe of a Reward Challenge would get one minute to grab whatever they could from the opponent tribe's camp, and as long as they could carry it, they can return to their own camp with it. Many items, such as blankets, lanterns, and tools, switched hands very often.

Whilst this only occurred at one point during Marquesas, Tocantins and Cagayan. Pearl Islands had a contestant from the winning tribe visit their opponents to take one item from them and bring it back to their own camp. In Pearl Islands looting happened after most tribal Reward Challenges.

In Survivor: Pearl Islands, A tribe raid, also called "looting", happened in the majority of the pre-merge episodes. In this twist the tribe that won the Reward Challenge got to pillage one item from the losing tribe's camp. Drake won the majority of the reward challenges and stole items from Morgan often. First Sandra took Morgan's tarp, then Christa took their boiling pot, then Trish took their lantern. (shown on left) Morgan finally rebounded from their losing streak and won the reward challenge to send Andrew to loot Drake. Drake won the final tribal reward challenge and they sent Jon Dalton to loot Morgan.
